Transfers ToCSUDescriptionThis course explores the labor movement’s role in politics. The class focuses on local, national and international political issues that impact trade, employment, workers’ rights, and the lives of working Americans. It addresses labor’s relationship to political action committees, the political parties, its activities in the broader political arena, and its interactions with social movements. Specifically, electoral politics, lobbying, strike strategy, living wage and other social justice campaigns, community organizing, class and identity politics, and responses to corporate globalization are addressed in a variety of contexts. This course involves students in hands-on by inviting them to investigate the political process themselves by getting involved in some capacity. This course is intended for anyone interested in the political strategy and tactics of the labor movement, including students who are employees and/or union members, and workers who are in leadership roles or are preparing for leadership positions in their workplace or unions.Usually HeldMon Wed 11:10am–12:35pm
